RFK Jr. Apologizes for Controversial Super Bowl Ad Referencing JFK

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apologized to his family for a Super Bowl ad promoting his independent presidential candidacy that drew criticism from the Kennedy family for using images of their late uncle and mother. The ad, created and aired by the American Values Super PAC, cost an estimated $6-7 million and featured images of RFK Jr. in place of President John F. Kennedy. Despite the apology, RFK Jr. continued to promote the ad on social media. He initially announced his presidential bid as a Democrat but later switched to running as an independent, meaning he will not appear on the California primary ballot.
